So I asked if they could replace full sized flagships
And so I got a response from 24bit
These will never replace or compare to a full size electrostatic, of course. They do share a similar 009 tone in the bass and midrange. However, the 009 has more bite to the treble and is definitely more bright up top. Also, the 009 is leagues ahead in clarity of course, as well as realism and such. The r2pro only shares the same uncolored bass and midrange tone, in my opinion. I felt that the r2pro had a type of a clarity, combined with an effortless tone type that also isn't harsh, is exceptionally rare in the iem world.
I've heard a few IEMs that were compared to the 009 actually. The UERM, FIBASS and Dita Truth were all compared to the 009 by various people. (DITA audio even states that the tonal balance of their Truth IEM is modeled after a specific 009 rig in their possession) I'm not sure what to make of that to be honest since none of those phones sound at all alike to me aside from possessing a similar level of clarity. Like I said, I've owned the DIta Answer and Truth and I've talked to WCDchee about it (he's had the R2pro and R2A for a few weeks now),and what he said in regard to the R2Pro vs. the Dita really sat well with me. YMMV of course since I do prefer a more linear signature and the R2Pro does seem to slot into that role nicely from what I can glean from various sources.
As for an IEM replacing a full sized can? I mean... not sure what you're expecting since they're quite different in terms of presentation and scope/scale. I've yet to hear an IEM that can contend with the presentation of the SR207. It's just a limitation of the tech we have, but I've heard IEMs that have really, really good tonal qualities that I feel is more realistic than the SR207 (the JH Angie for instance) so you gotta pick and choose.

I bought the SA5K ten years ago actually lol. It was the first "flagship" I ever bought and I didn't quite know what I wanted back then. I just heard it was super ****** detailed and that was what I equated to good sound at the time. It sounds good with some genres but I'm not a fan of its overall tonal balance at all. Much too cold and thin sounding. I've hung onto it simply cause it's been recabled and suffered some shipping damage so I don't think I can get what I want out of selling it, so I may as well keep it even if it sees virtually no use. (Same goes for stuff like the Radius DDM, and the Mad Dog, Ex600, FX500 etc. The market's changed so much, I can't even sell these things for anything remotely decent.) I've gone through a ton of phones since then and every phone that I've kept for a lengthy period of time has leaned more towards neutral
I'm glad you were there, lol. Glad you enjoyed it, and thanks for the compliment. I plan to do more vinesauce related videos that involve splicing like this.
I think the marketing for nearly every flagship headphone out there is steeped in an abundance of useless buzzwords, so it's best to let the product speak for itself. The R1 is acknowledged to be a flawed headphone from the reviews I've read of it, but the R2A/R2Pro is supposed to be excellent.
Saw dat. Pretty good 3D, really short teaser
